The Met Office has issued a weather warning that includes Edinburgh, as the capital is set to be battered by high winds on Monday - gusts of over 40mph are predicted, and that could change as we move closer to the 2 February.
Forecasters also say that the weather could lead to a chance of injuries and danger to life along the coast, as large waves and beach material could be thrown onto sea fronts and coastal roads.
They say:
"A spell of very windy weather is likely Monday afternoon and evening across parts of Scotland, potentially bringing disruption to transport."
What to expect
- There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris
- There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
- There is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected
- There is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close
- There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties
It seems likely - given recent issues with high-sided vehicles being blown over by the wind on the A1 - that the A1 may be partially closed on Monday.
Earlier in January two lorries were blown over on the A1 and blocked it, with one falling on top of a police car. It later emerged that they had ignored police warnings not to use the route, and could face charges as a result.
